Federal Reserve Governors Lisa Cook and Christopher Waller have both emphasized the need for caution before reducing interest rates, highlighting the importance of further progress on inflation. Cook is seeking 'greater confidence' in inflation slowing, while Waller, referencing January's jump in consumer prices, questions, 'What's the rush?' Waller has also mentioned that there is no urgency to cut rates, suggesting that a delay in rate cuts, expected as part of Fed easing this year, should not significantly impact the economy. He underscored the risks of 'acting too soon' which could squander progress on inflation and risk considerable harm to the economy.
